Hi, this is a car part and unfortunately I broke mine... I have 3D printer and I want to design and print it but, some how, I could not find the way to design this model. Can someone please show me the way ?

 

This is a wind reflector and has curves xyz axis..

 

Thank you already

I can't tell what that is from the photo but a couple of ways that might work would be lofting surfaces with guide rails or maybe sheet metal which can curve a body in two directions.

And we should guess the form and the dimensions from just having one image for a translucent part?

Dimensions does not matter. I need to learn how can we design this kind of shape.

So, I need to learn sheet metal options in Fusin 360 ha ?

 

Detailed photos added. Dimensions are not important.

Can you File>Export and then Attach the *.f3d file of your attempt here?

Is there a duplicate of this part on the car?  If so, can you take picture of the unbroken part as installed on the car (or link to image of the same car model for reference)?

I deleted my attempts because nearly could not do anything. Actually I dont know how to design curvy things and always use "Solid" part of the Fusion 360. By the way the name of the part is : Bifector for VW Old Beetle.

All of your images are skewed.

I would prefer images that are orthogonal to Front, Side, Top.

I would prefer at least a trial *.f3d attempt - demonstrating a fully defined sketch of the primary view.

Unfortunatelly I could not find anything on the internet other than these.. 

can you say at least which type of functions using for these kind of curvy things ?

wide open question.  the best approach is really dependent on the object but here goes-

-that attached uses a sweeped surface profile.  from the pics that looks like a good approach, but hard to tell

-it looks symmetrical, so take advantage of that. do half and mirror.

-I don't think loft is a good approach for this object, but maybe.

-a surface patach on 3d curves mike work

-does the shape look like it's a cut off corner of a larger revolved shape?  if so you can recreate that shape and trim it out.

really hard to say just from provided pics
